Random musings on history, politics, and more

More than two years ago, David Swanson – co-founder of largely irrelevant activism group afterdowningstreet.org – made much ado about nothing – or, to be more charitable, much ado about something he has no clue about. Like most tempests in teapots, the un-story quickly fizzled back out into the nothingness from which it came, leaving a few people – but not, apparently, David Swanson – better educated about the subjects involved.

Why do I mention this? Because the attention-starved crybaby is doing it again. The circumstances are completely identical, and once again he’s crying about “censorship”, whipping up the probably well-meaning but equally-clueless into an indignant fury over absolutely nothing.

David? Learn from history, please; watching you repeat your mistakes has ceased to be amusing.
